There are times when I’m lying in my bed   Hug my pillow and cry from this tip again   And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day   Almost rubbed down, swelling, as I keep on   Dipping my face in these cold hands of mine   Heaven knows how bitter I am      Chorus   ‘Cause this angel has flown away from me   Leaving me in drunken misery   I should have clipped her wings and made her mine   For all eternity   Now this angel has flown away from me   Thought I had the strength to set her free   Did what I did because I love her so   Will she ever find her way back home to me   Aah…      I’m so tired, I feel like catching forty winks   Being up all night in this elbow room   That puts me in a trance   Where hopes and dreams come true   Now my lips are burning and my eyes are hurting   From this fuse I mixed till I light another   Cigarette just to pass my time, oh   Heaven knows how bitter I am      (Repeat chorus)
